The person that had the hummingbird feeder put a heat light by it so that it would kind of warm-up,” he said.“There’s pigeon guillemots that nest underneath Port Chilkoot dock,” he said. “They are an interesting little bird that has a lifestyle like a duck but doesn’t at all look like a duck — it has a little pigeon beak.
